yet the left says they are doing better, I guess they got a bump in their food stamps. they probably now dont have to pay their medical because they get medicaid now .. Guess what someone else is paying it just aint coming your pocket..

You can place that blame squarely on the backs of the private sector and their cronies in congress. Jobs that once paid $20 an hour now suddenly pay $10 with 75 people desperately applying for them. At the same time, CEO salary has gone up 400%. No one is getting raises or bonuses... exept for those at the top, but they sure as hell are doing the jobs of 3 people (themselves and the two poor slobs that got laid off previously). Hmmm... I see a correlation here. Our corporatist policies are directly responsible for this.

According to Pew, the Census Bureau showed that the median income for American households in 2009  the official end of the Great Recession  was $52,195 (in 2011 dollars), while the median income dipped to $50,054 last year, falling 4.1 percent over two years.

The decrease in household income from 2009 to 2011 almost exactly equaled the decrease in income in the two years of the recession, the Pew report stated. During the Great Recession, the median U.S. household income (in 2011 dollars) dropped from $54,489 in 2007 to $52,195 in 2009, a loss of 4.2 percent. By this yardstick, the recovery from the Great Recession is bypassing the nations households.

I'm sure you have the evidence for every bit of this occuring over the past two years and aren't just blowing shit out of your ass. But just in case, let's see that evidence.
